Imagine this ...
You are driving along in your car on a wild,
stormy night, it's
raining heavily, when suddenly you pass by a bus
stop, and you
see three people waiting for a bus:
1. An old lady who looks as if she is about to
die.
2. An old friend who once saved your life.
3. The perfect partner you have been dreaming
about.
Which one would you choose to offer a ride to,
knowing very well that there could only be one
passenger in your car?
Think before you continue reading...
....
....

This is a moral/ethical dilemma that was once
actually
used as part of a job application.
* You could pick up the old lady, because she is
going
to die, and thus you should save her first;
* or you could take the old friend because he
once
saved your life, and this would be the perfect
chance
to pay him back.
* However, you may never be able to find your
perfect
mate again.
The candidate who was hired (out of 200
applicants)
had no trouble coming up with his answer. Guess
what
was his answer?

He simply answered: "I would give the car keys to
my
Old friend and let him take the lady to the
hospital.
I would stay behind and wait for the bus with the
partner of my dreams."
Sometimes, we gain more if we are able to give up
our
stubborn thought limitations.
Never forget to "Think Outside of the Box."
So what was yours ????? :)
